Beyond Exclusionary Discipline: Re-Conceptualizing Connecticut's School to Prison Pipeline to Address Root Causes

Two papers:

This literature review aims to expand the understanding of the school to prison pipeline and to call attention to the varied and complicated forces, largely outside of a child's or family's control, that can impact why a child may fail to graduate high school or have contact with the juvenile justice system.

The goal of this report is to spur new and holistic research about Connecticut’s school to prison pipeline as well as to help schools and districts innovate the types of policies and programs they implement in order to decrease justice system contact among their students.
